Welcome to MTC/SVG Monday! IF your a first time visitor I hope you become a regular visitor. Read the post for how the challenge works and how to get the MTC/SVG Files.

The Design Team are given my “Collection” of Files (explained on the MTC Tab/Page on my blogger blog. On WordPress I am still working on learning things). that I have designed and they choose the image(s) of their choice to do their Inspirational projects for you. Be sure check out their Inspirational Projects on their blogs or Facebook, they’d love new Followers and maybe leave them a lil love.

I am still working on getting my files all up for sale. If you’ve kept up with me on my blog or facebook you know I’m still settling from our move and all the other life stuff.

I am still too deciding between blogger and wordpress. I am very torn they both have good and bad. I just simply can’t keep up. But I have been offered a few places to sell my files at too so I am looking into that as well. So just want to keep you up to speed. You can always email me if there is a specific file i don’t have up. most my files right now I sell for usually $1 or $2 for a “collection” and $5 for a set of “collections” $15 for ALL files to date.

Enjoy the files and I hope to see you do a project with the files. I know i don’t have huge awesome blog candy but its all I can afford to offer.

If you like my work, and want to show some appreciation, please feel free to leave me a “tip” by clicking the paypal donation button and leave your choice amount of a “tip” (not necessary)or just a simple “thanks” in the comment box below.

Love hearing the simple words, shows me that people do appreciate the time I put into making the files.

I do love hearing what people think of my files even if its some positive criticism. If its broke or there is a problem I won’t know unless you tell me.

Something you’d like to see for a file theme? Or a different format I don’t have available?

I am looking for sponsors for blog candy for both my MTC Monday and Sketchy Saturday Challenges.

What are you Known as in “forums”/”blogs”?
Usually just Lisa Cascio but I do go by candlelisac or mrslc27 sometimes!

Short Bio ~
I’ve been a PartyLite consultant for almost seven years. I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband of 13 years and two daughters, ages 8 and 5. I love being a stay at home mom while earning money as a PartyLite consultant!

How did you learn to do Scrapbooking (or Craft?)
Self-taught; my friend in Stampin Up, Amy Ettelson, has given me some great tips as well!

How Long have you been Scrapbooking (or Crafting?)
Since my oldest daughter was born, about 8 years ago.

What “style” would you describe your Personal crafting?
It depends on the mood I’m in, but usually I have a “clean lines” style, and sometimes I like to mix it up with lots of embellishments and a rainbow of colors on the page.

Do you do any Digital Scrapbooking or other digital media art?
Not usually. I’ve dabbled but I like doing it the old fashioned way.

What are your 3 favorite projects and why?
All scrapbooks: one was for my husband’s grandparents as a gift for their 60th wedding anniversary, because I loved doing the research and collecting 60+ years of photos. Another was a scrapbook I made for my father’s 60th birthday, again, because I loved the retro feel of it and looking back into the 1950’s for a peek at what life was like back then. My third favorite is a scrapbook of a seashore trip our family took a few years ago. It was fun to have pictures of all the cousins playing together in the waves and on the sand, and I love all the ocean-themed papers and embellishments I used!

What are some of the drawback to the craft you find?
I need more TIME! I have months in between projects because life happens!!

What are some of the enjoyments to the craft you find?
It’s very relaxing and I love the feeling of accomplishment when I finish a page! Instant gratification (almost!).

Do you use sketches?
Sometimes I do but usually I don’t.

Where do you find Inspiration?
In my children, mostly!!

Do you belong on any “Design teams” now or in the past?
No.

When you loose your “mojo” how do you get it back?
I look thru old or recent photos and have a bunch printed. Just thinking about what I can do with those photos and knowing I’m archiving our family memories gets me back into it.

Can you briefly describe how your process of creating begins? Such as with color, theme, etc choice?
Sometimes it’s the photos that start the process, but other times, I could be looking through a crafting catalog or browsing in a craft store, and I’ll come across a paper or even a sticker that I love, and that sets me off!

What are your Top 3 favorite embellishments?
Stickers, brads and embossing powders.

What are your some ideas you share with others?
I haven’t really had the opportunity to do a lot of sharing, but maybe being a part of this group will allow me to do more of that!

What advice would you give to a newbie just starting in this crafting?
Just let the mood strike you and go with whatever you are feeling!

Any organizational tips you’d like to share?
LOL don’t be as unorganized as I am! But seriously, have a system for all your paper, embellishments and tools, even if it is separate bins. If you don’t have a system of some sort, I feel like your creativity can’t flow as well.
Any Budget Cost cutting tips?
I use the computer sometimes and print out words or letters I want to use instead of buying stickers sometimes. And always wait for a sale or a coupon!

What made you decide to start a Blog, website, Facebook Fan page, etc?
I have not yet started a page for crafting, but I do have a website for my PartyLite business

A Sketch is an “idea” or “inspiration” to get a layout or card done. You can turn the sketches 90* either way or 180* to get a different “look” add a little more embellishments, use different embellishments or shapes to fit your pictures.

The New Design Team will be starting next Saturday! We are so lucky to have such a diverse Design Team and I am so happy some of the Previous Design team is staying on with us and to add the new additions.

LOL! I did! So for the month of July I will be posting here and there simultaneously. Then between your feedback and my experience with both I will stick with one or the other.

Blog candy is a CTMH Level 2 “Fanfare” Paper Pack(value $12.95).

This is one I can’t send first class out of the country so for Scrappers outside the US I ask you share the cost of shipping and we split it. To Canada and Mexico its $12 US Priority and Everywhere else is $15. Unfortunately, the USPS charges so much, If i could have it my way I would, but they just don’t listen to me. So I thought splitting the cost would be the fairest way. I know it stinks, but unfortunately I have to do it this way cause I can’t afford it otherwise and I’d have to exclude you and I don’t want to. I hope you understand. The only other option is to change the blog candy to a smaller grab bag of items I can ship first class.

Fanfare Level 2 Paper Pack
